The stay was fine overall. The host was incredibly responsive and I loved the guide provided to help find restaurants and things to do nearby. My concerns came in with the cleanliness of the property. I arrived at check in and while looking for the parking pass (that was not actually in the apartment and had to be brought to me the next day), I found a lipstick stain on one of the glasses set out on the table. Additionally, the eating utensils were not clean at all, I had to wash everything before using it. The bedsheets also did not look clean at all. I found what appeared to be an ink stain on the sheets when getting in bed the first night; however, as the stay progressed, I keep discovering more and more stains on the sheets. It was very unsettling and did not make me feel the place had been properly cleaned. Again, the host was kind, the location was great, but the cleanliness was lacking in many ways.
